I don't understand how you only read 1.4 volts output. Even if the regultor was toast, you should read at least battery voltage. Don't try to test the charging system without a battery hooked to the regulator. The battery is needed as a reference voltage and a place to sink the current.
On a 2008 (3) phase you should get some really strong lift on the voltmeter at the 3000 RPM range (<50 volts).. Be sure each phase reading is equal to each other. Reading 35 volts on one phase and 32 (same RPM) on another would be a reject stator in my opinion.
If you get good readings on above and you pass ohm reading test along with hi ohm (20meg) insulation from ground tests, change out regulator and see what happens. It would be very rare to see a bad stator take out a new regulator.
